DLC Ski Jump - Round just ends mid-flight
Hello all! I'm new here, LOVE Trials HD and spend a ton of time with it. I have this one question, though, that has been bugging the CRAP out of me!!
The ski jump was my favorite game in Trials HD, and now the new DLC one is even better. However, it seems every time I get an AWESOME launch with great speed and range, half way through the flight, in mid air, the game will just suddenly end the round as if I hit the ground!! No, I'm not hitting the ceiling, I'm no where near it. I'm talking actually mid-flight, around the 100-200m area, it will just all of a sudden finish for no reason! It ALWAYS happens, without fail, every single time I get a launch that I know for sure will get me a good leaderboard spot, it screws up!!
For example, I just got the launch of a lifetime, if I landed it I swear it would've been upwards of 400m, no exaggeration at all. I was soaring through the air and then all of a sudden at 288m, with PLENTY of air to go, it just ended the jump and I was stuck with 288m. WTF!!!!!!!!
FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!
Any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks in advance for any answers. http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image..._e_biggrin.gif

You are probably hitting the sidewalls, i know it happens to me.....

See, that's what I figured, but why? How am I going off to the side?? And why does this happen literally EVERY SINGLE TIME I get a fantastic launch? Its so bad that I can usually tell when it is about to happen based on how fast my guy is flying....and 99% of the time I'm right.
This is extra frustrating because my friend sitting right next to me got #9 on the leaderboard on the Ski Jump, and I must defeat him!!! http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...s/icon_lol.gif

I'm not sure....
But same as in the down the stairs....the rider isn't stuck to the rideline....so depending on the mid air tumbles.....the rider can move off the drivleline...
Re: DLC Ski Jump - Round just ends mid-flight
So, what are all the variables that can cause the player to hit the wall? It seems momentum has something to do it, because every time I get a launch where my character is moving at a very high pace, he hits the wall without fail. Every single time. Why would moving this fast cause him to veer off to the side?
Is there anything you can do to help prevent the guy from hitting the wall when moving at such a velocity? Holding the left trigger to ball up doesn't help, he still hits.
Any tips?
Re: DLC Ski Jump - Round just ends mid-flight
Try using the d-pad for ski jump, and press up/right together =), you can get a great distance using this method and it should keep your rider roughly centre the whole way.
Re: DLC Ski Jump - Round just ends mid-flight
He moves on 6 axis with one stick on this game mode, so the only way I find to keep him centre, is with the Dpad at 45 degrees up and forward.
It is possible with the stick, but very hard to get a perfect angle and not move it any other direction.
Re: DLC Ski Jump - Round just ends mid-flight
I figured out the whole d-pad trick very shortly after the first time I tried the ski-jump. It's pretty obvious IMO.
However, this doesn't mean anything for the side to side variance. There seems to be no way to help your character stay in the center.
Re: DLC Ski Jump - Round just ends mid-flight
I find the main offender of flight-wreckers have to be the skis. I've gone countless times just skimming the tips of the skis against the ceiling or floor that could've potentially become one heck of a jump. It gets annoying after a while http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...icon_e_sad.gif
I'm guessing that the main reason you'd be finishing in mid flight is a combination of your rider slowly coasting towards the wall and his skis sticking out all over the place, eventually slapping the wall. I wish that there was a way to control your z-axis motion properly http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_neutral.gif
Re: DLC Ski Jump - Round just ends mid-flight
I wish they pushed that back wall at least 20 feet further into the background. Most times I bet one extra foot would have kept me in flight, this issue has ruined what I am sure was a lot of awesome jumps.
